Today’s photo was taken one morning on my way home from Copenhell this summer. It wasn’t just any morning; it was summer solstice. Copenhagen gets almost 11 hours of additional sun on summer solstice compared to winter solstice.

My neighbor this year is Kokkeriet, a relatively inexpensive restaurant by Michelin standards that I have yet to sample. I have been to Vesterbro Vinstue twice this year, and those bills combined were less than half the cost of one visit to Kokkeriet so that’s the main reason.

This was the scene well after 10 p.m. last night out my bedroom window for the solstice. I’ll get to watch the sky change behind this Nyboder backdrop for the next five weeks. Some of these buildings were built in the 1600s and 1700s by Christian IV. The church on the left is St. Paul’s and the one on the right is the Marble Church.
